the right should say 245.

posted this on my new blog, but thought my followers over here might like it

Before pic- Around 17 years old. Probably 230-250.

After pic- Today, 195.

In that before pic I didn’t believe that it would be possible to lose the weight. I was hopeless and depressed. Beat myself up constantly for putting anything in my mouth. Wished I had a gag reflex so I could just binge and purge. 

The lessons I’ve learned this year have been amazing. It is possible to be healthy. It’s quite simple too. Just gotta find what works for your body. I have found that and now I’m halfway to my ultimate goal.

Sw 250 ish
Cw 205

I pat myself on back

Shrimp are anything but small in their nutrient density. Shrimp are an excellent source of selenium and unusually low-fat, low-calorie protein—a four ounce serving of shrimp supplies 23.7 grams of protein for a mere 112 calories and less than a gram of fat. Shrimp are also a very good source of vitamin B12.
Shrimp provide large cardiovascular benefits and help control high blood pressure! Their Selenium and Omega 3 content also has cancer fighting properties. They protect against Alzheimer’s and age-related mental decline. Diets rich in Omega 3’s (which shrimp have a LOT of) help to improve mood and reduce depression! 

Mmmmm I want some shrimp and butter

:O~~~

Baked Egg in an Avocado

Avocados are amazing things—they’re delicious on their own, but they also have a lot of healthy fats, dietary fibers, and vitamins, and despite their high caloric value, they’re remarkably easy to prepare. If you have an avocado that’s too firm to use for something else, or you’re just in the mood for something new and healthy for breakfast, slice it in half, remove the pit, and carve out a little space in the center. Crack an egg where the pit was, and bake. In a few minutes, you’ll have a delicious, protein and vitamin-packed breakfast treat that’s rich enough to keep you going all morning.

The recipe itself is pretty simple:

• Preheat oven to 425, have cast iron pan in there

• Slice avocado in half, take out pit

• Take pan out, put avocado half on, crack egg in

• Put whatever you want on top

• Place in oven and cook till your eggs [are done how you] desire

Avocados are used in all sorts of breakfast dishes, but this is a great example of using the avocado as a breakfast dish, and pretty tasty one at that.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I JUST DIED I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
